Bed Fest music headliners unveiled for Knaresborough

Graham Chalmers

Bed Fest charity music event is returning for its fourth year on Bed Race day in Knaresborough and it's just announced an impressive headliner act.

Topping the bill on Saturday, June 11 as part of the four stages of live music in the beautiful surroundings of Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre, just up the road from the Bed Race finishing line will be Fold.

Fold have laid the groundwork for their well received debut album by self-releasing a series of singles that have garnered significant support from UK radio including 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne, Huey Morgan, Don Letts and especially Gideon Coe.

Blur’s Dave Rowntree is arguably their biggest fan having brought Seth in a guest on his XFM show of 6 September. XFM’s John Kennedy has also been a long standing supporter.

With a solid base of regional radio, support Fold make regular guest appearances on stations in the North including Alan Raw’s BBC Introducing West Yorkshire.
